Teachers have already found MiC to be an effective mathematics curriculum
because its connection to real-world problems helps students grasp mathematics
and be successful on state assessments. It is owned equally by Reed Elsevier PLC (NYSE: RUK) and Reed

Seeing Math(TM) Elementary offers nine courses that focus on concepts from
the NCTM standards that are typically difficult to teach or to learn, such as
fractions, division with remainders, calculating the area of a triangle, or
using data to make predictions.

MiC is known for its success in developing
understanding of mathematics through realistic contexts and for preparing
students for algebra. Two additional courses outline effective
teaching strategies: one on questioning and one on formative assessment. The core
concepts explored in each facilitated online course correspond to areas
addressed by popular algebra textbooks and align with standards established by
many states and by NCTM. Six courses, addressing topics such as linear and
